A 4 kg object is swung in a vertical circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 10 m/s at the bottom. What is the tension in the string?
To find the tension in the string at the bottom of the vertical circle, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the gravitational force acting on the object:
where:
2. Calculate the centripetal force required to keep the object moving in a circle at the bottom of the circle:
